A female anax imperator. Well captured.
ThierryM  Thank you Ingo. Indeed, this female was flying around looking for a good spot to drop off her eggs. She was eaten by a frog not long after this shot.
Ingo Dumreicher  Really? Oh noooo... :-(

"Only minutes after I made this picture the dragonfly got eaten by a frog, so it's risky business.."... giving birth has always been "difficult'... :))

Superb indeed!
ThierryM  Merci beaucoup Marie :)
Great catch. It's not every day you see dragonflies lay their eggs :-) At least that is what I think it is doing!
ThierryM  Thank you! She is indeed laying her eggs. Only minutes after I made this picture the dragonfly got eaten by a frog, so it's risky business..

Wonderful, a great capture. The composition is spot on, the colours very pleasant and the golden light a pleasure. The only weak point seems a sort of flare on the eye (I mean that halo around the sparkle) but I think you could recover it very easily.
